Energy Efficiency

Creating Comfort in Every Season

Whether cooling down in summer or staying cosy during winter, achieving the perfect temperature at home is crucial for a comfortable living environment. Energy-efficient windows and doors play a significant role in this, greatly enhancing home comfort and simultaneously reducing energy costs.

Reducing Energy Bills with VELFAC Windows and Doors

Energy-efficient windows and doors are key to cutting down on energy expenditure, with VELFAC windows and doors being renowned for their superior low-energy performance. They address a common issue in many homes, where approximately 20-25% of heat loss occurs through windows and doors.

This loss typically happens through:

• Air leakage around the frame and sashes
   
• Heat conduction through the glass and frame

Key Factors in Window Energy Efficiency:

• Frame Material
  The frame's material significantly affects heat transfer from indoors to outdoors. Wood, with its low thermal conductivity, excels in enhancing thermal efficiency. In contrast, metals, with higher thermal conductivity, may pose insulation challenges.
• Construction
  The gap between glass panes is pivotal for thermal insulation. Sealed units filled with inert gases like Argon offer lower heat transmission and increased efficiency. Wider spacing between panes and modern 'warm edge' spacer bars, made from steel-reinforced polymer, also contribute to reduced thermal conductivity.
• Glazing
  The choice of glazing greatly influences a window's performance and efficiency. Low-emissivity (low-e) glass is often preferred for optimal heat retention and efficiency. For heightened insulation, triple-glazed windows are the optimal choice.
• Installation
  The quality of installation is equally crucial as the product quality itself. Even the highest-performing windows and doors won't deliver their full benefits in comfort or energy savings if not installed correctly.
